Details
SpeakIt is a group where the goal is to practice and learn languages naturally: By talking and meeting new people! This, of course, includes English learners ๐.

We welcome any language and all language levels. Here's how it works:
- ๐จโ๐You spend part of your time practicing a language you are learning;
- ๐ง๐ปโ๐ซYou spend the other part of your time speaking in your native language, helping others! (even if you only speak one language, that's fine)
When you arrive at the venue, we will have flag stickers ๐บ๐ณ representing any country of your choosing. Put your most fluent language on top and any language(s) you are learning or already know below. Then find someone else wearing a flag and say hi in your preferred language ๐๐ผ.
*** FAQ's, Please read! ***
- ๐ฐEvent is $2 (suggested, cash or Venmo) to help cover the cost for the flags and the meetup subscription.
- ๐ปPlease support the venue that hosts us by ordering something from the bar. ๐
- Will there be [x] language speakers here? That depends! We don't organize who comes to the event, so we can't be 100% sure your language will be there. You may want to invite a practice buddy. Otherwise come say Hi and find out! Our most common languages are English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian and Mandarin but we also regularly have too many more to list!
- Can I show up late? Show up any time you'd like.
- Coming alone? Welcome! Just bring a friendly face and some words.
- Or feel free to bring along some friends, too.
